Dear Singers,
More pieces will be given out (in named folders) at the 24th March rehearsal. The following learning resources may help you prepare at home. If you find better ones, please share them with me.
Elgar – Sea Pictures arr Phelps – there is no recording of the Phelps version (SATB & piano) but the following FREE learning aid from Choralia.net may be useful:

We will be singing 3 of the 5 songs in the book:
Sea Slumber Song
In Haven
Where Corals Lie
I could find no learning resources for the remaining pieces, but here are some useful recordings:
Grainger – Country Gardens arr Tall (although vowel sounds are slightly dubious here):

The final piece should be available to borrow from after Easter:
Le Strange – Ahoy – 3.Greensleeves and 8.The Water is Wide (O Waly Waly) only (this recording includes a children’s choir which we will not have):
Kind regards
